Broseph they’ve been raising my rate since I moved in several years ago. My rate used to be $925. My brother rented a studio near my area for $1200 at that time, I have a 2 bed 1 bath unit with plenty of space. The shitty thing is that I’m more or less trapped here. I appreciate deeply I haven’t been priced out of my home, but there’s nowhere to go. And believe me, I want out of here. I guess at least I’m grateful there’s some agencies not entirely committed to totally fucking their clients.
I’m grateful to have a stable roof over me these past years, especially considering my past, but I recognize I may be in a more favorable are in general in regards to rent prices. Shit’s rough. I wish you the best. But right now this is taking up near 35% of my income. I’d rather have the two floors plus basement even if the place is falling apart compared to having a studio somewhere. And they’d make me pay to apply and have to do a credit check. All they did here was confirm I had an income. I consider myself lucky now, though I was sour in the past.
Apologies, I’m a bit slow sometimes. I understand what you mean. Sorry, I can have a kneejerk reaction. I’ve been dealing with right wing trolls for half my life now. Cheers, my friend.
